general grossness

Now that I've heard from people completely grossed out by my description of a leaky hotel-room toilet, I thought I'd change the subject by adding one more photo from Africa. This is a close-up from a menu at a cafe in Johannesburg.

No, I can't tell you how the monkey gland burger tasted.

I can tell you, though, that wart hog isn't bad. A wart hog is of the pig family, of course. We were served sweet-and-sour warthog and it was fairly tasty.

As for impala? I asked the guy at the buffet, as he was slicing the roast, "What does impala taste like?" He gave that some thought and replied: "A little like springbok."
